SOURCE: battery drain

some models of camera do this, it's like a standby mode.

you can bypass this by blocking the terminals with a piece of paper or plastic, which you remove when you want to use, this should protect the battery life, however you will have to remove the paper/plastic when you wish to use the camera.

SOURCE: battery drains quickly

"It shouldn't do that." But you already know that. Even with everything "on" in the camera it still shouldn't do that.

I think you need to try a) alkaline batteries and b) new NiMh batteries. If it still persists then your camera has a deeper problem and needs to be sent in for repair.

SOURCE: In May we purchased a

We are having great success selling our customers the Energizer Lithium AA batteries. They are a little more expensive initially, but the end cost is much lower than alkaline cells. They usually give about 7 times more shots than alkalines. There's also new "oxyride" batteries, but I have no experience with them. Also, take into account the "self-discharge" phenomenon of most nickel metal-hydride rechargeable batteries. They lose about 1% of their charge per day, even when unused. If you charge them today, and don't use them for a month, they will probably be as good as dead. They must be "topped-up" prior to use. For the casual user, however, the Energizer's seem to be the best, most convenient way to go.

SOURCE: battery drain

you might be using normal cells you try use alkaline cells it would work great or check your camera literature if you can use rechargeble batteries which would even be greater as it would cost one time and always free especially with camellion always ready which retains charge for months.

SOURCE: new batteries are drained after 3 shots

It's a hardware issue. If it is still under warranty, bring it to the nearest service center.

Mercedes c220 cdi

If the engine is idling; the car battery charge is draining faster than the alternator can keep up.

If the ignition is off; the car is telling you that you'll have a flat battery soon.

If yo are running a stack of extra amps then you need to uprate the battery to cope. If it's just a regular stereo then your car battery is probably due for replacement because it's not holding charge efficiently.

How to take Care of Your Laptop Battery

BATTERY 101 PART 1
What really makes the Laptop or Notebook really portable is its Battery. Remove the Battery then you are indirectly removing the Laptops portability. As human beings we need energy to survive which is form of the food we eat. Similarly a Laptop needs energy to survive. The energy a Laptop needs to survive comes from the Battery which is made up of chemical juice (Lithium Ions). This chemical juice operates optimally at particular conditions. Hence we need to take care of it. Now if you take away the battery of a Laptop, you are taking away the life of the Laptop. We can then understand that it is the battery of the Laptop that keeps it alive.
Since Battery = Life of Laptop it simply means that No battery = Death of Laptop. Because batteries are so important in the existence of a Laptop we definitely have to take care of our Laptop battery.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY
I observed that many Laptop owners do not really care for their Laptop batteries. You might wonder why? It is simply Lack of information. So i am going to be giving you several tips on how to take care of your Laptop battery. I am going to cover two tips in this Part of the article and continue in subsequent parts. So watch out for Part 2.
TIPS
1) NEVER ALLOW BATTERY TO DRAIN COMPLETELY
Lithium ion battery is the technology used in modern Laptops. Squeezing every drop of its juice (chemical) weakens and strains the battery. Hence cumulative drain of the battery will shorten the life of the battery and eventually kill the battery.
2) NEVER ALOW THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BATTERY TO BE TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW
High temperature breaks down the battery and reduces its overall life expectancy. Always make sure the vents are unblocked and also never work with a Laptop on the cushion because if you do so you will be blocking the vents in the Laptop. If you are wondering how to check the temperature of your battery you could get a software to do that.

My camer charger is not working...... what is the solution for this...... if i connect to computer it is not getting charged why....?

The L10 uses standard AA batteries, either disposable or rechargeable. It does not contain any charging circuitry. Connecting the camera to a computer simply drains the batteries faster, as the camera has to expend energy communicating with the computer (even if only to say it has nothing to say). If you want to use rechargeables, you'll have to charge them using a separate battery charger.

My trolling motor battery is draining low faster than usual,how do i know if it's the battery or motor drawing too much

It has to be the battery, or you have a lot of weeds slowing the prop which would drain the battery faster..

My fuji finepix 2600 cam is simply eating all the energy out of fully loaded, new batteries. Nothing wrong with the loader. Is the cam destroyed or what ?

Digital cameras are high drain devices, regular batteries finish fast, need to use alkaline plus batteries; also take out batteries out of the camera, when not in use.

What is the difference between the available AA battery chemistries?

AA batteries are available in four basic varieties: Alkaline Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) Photo Lithium (Li-FeS2) Alkaline and photo lithium are non-rechargeable, while NiMH and NiCad are rechargeable. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Non-Rechargeable vs. Rechargeable: Rechargeable batteries are desirable from an environmental standpoint because they are reusable. Self-discharge refers to the fact that batteries lose energy when unused and even when not in a camera or other device. Rechargeable batteries tend to have relatively high self-discharge rates, approximately 1-2% per day for nickel-based batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries generally have very long shelf lives and extremely slow self-discharge rates. This makes non-rechargeable batteries a better choice for infrequent usage. Non-rechargeable batteries are available fully charged in stores all over the world, which makes them a convenient choice for travelers or customers who have dead rechargeable batteries and no time to recharge. Photo Lithium Batteries (Li-FeS2) (non-rechargeable): Photo lithium batteries will yield the longest battery life of any AA battery, surpassing NiMH by 50-100% and surpassing alkaline by 100-500%, depending on the load. While they are more expensive than alkaline batteries, their additional energy capacity makes the cost the same or less per shot than alkaline batteries. Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries (NiMH) (rechargeable): NiMH batteries are the lowest cost overall solution for users that take a lot of pictures (more than the equivalent of a roll of film per month) or use a lot of high-power features. The largest disadvantage to NiMH batteries is their fast self-discharge rate of 1-2% per day whether the batteries are in a camera or not. NOTE: NiMH batteries need to be completely charged and discharged a few times when new to achieve their full capacity. Rechargeable batteries will eventually fail. If you have been getting acceptable battery life and then see a decrease in life, either quickly or slowly over time, a worn-out battery may be the cause. Storing or charging the batteries in high temperature conditions will accelerate this potential failure. Alkaline Batteries (non-rechargeable): Although the cheapest and easiest to find, alkaline batteries yield the worst performance of all the chemistries in a digital camera. They lose capacity at high power drains and at low temperatures. Skiers and other winter outdoor enthusiasts may find them unsatisfactory. Alkaline batteries are frequently available in two types: High drain (ultra, titanium, maximum etc.) Regular The high drain versions are a premium product designed to operate better under heavy loads than the standard product. However, there is a trend of major brands to increase the performance of their standard battery to b
